Carillon de l'Angélus 2022

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Falstaff

Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle rim brightening. Floral, candied purple fruit, black cherries, some coconut, subtle hints of mint, some lime. Juicy, very elegant, fine extracted sweetness, ripe cherry fruit, mineral and long lasting, savoury finish, some nougat on the back palate.

Wine Maniacs

Jeb Dunnuck

The true second wine of this reference point estate is the 2022 Le Carillon D'Angelus, which is 90% Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that’s resting in 60% new barrels. It has beautiful cassis and almost blue-tinged fruits as well as medium to full body, nicely integrated oak, some spicy, graphite, and floral nuances, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It doesn't taste like a second wine and will give many a Grand Vin a run for their money.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Based on Merlot from the cool, clay-limestone terroirs of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, the 2022 Le Carillon d'Angélus offers up aromas of sweet berries, plums, orange zest, cigar wrapper and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and dense, with lively acids, sweet tannins and a gently lactic finish.

James Suckling

A very fresh and vivid red with crunchy and bright character. Citrus rind as well. Medium-bodied. Fine taninned with a vivid finish. Precise.
